Hi, OK - a new BIOS has fixed this. For the record 1.05 seems to work, 1.02 which I had previously doesn't; motherboard is Tyan S2460.
When I say it has fixed it I should clarify: 1) I can unload and reload the parport/parport_pc/lp modules and it finds the parallel port again 2) However I can't actually find the parallel port under the /sys/pnp directory any more - so what it actually does to PNP I can't tell There is a note in the release notes for the previous version of the BIOS that says: 'Add IO ports Dynamic Enable/Disable support for ACPI.' which may be relevant. So please close this bug. For any other S2460 users who find this the BIOS upgrades are here: http://www.tyan.com/archive/support/html/b_s2460.html and the 'normal' FreeDOS boot floppy on here: http://www.fdos.org/bootdisks/ worked a treat for running the BIOS upgrade (although Tyan says Win95/98 boot floppies). -- rmmod parport_pc does something to pnp https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103098 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
